How to Sketch Buildings in Pen & Watercolour - Sketch 2 of 7: Sydney Opera House

Learn how to sketch various types of buildings and architecture in ink and watercolour with this series of 7 lessons and sketches. In this second lesson, I sketch the Sydney Opera House seen from a distance. I'll add the next new sketch in this series to our YouTube channel every few days, so subscribe to get notified.

MATERIALS I USED FOR ALL 7 SKETCHES
1. A spiralbound watercolour pad (A4 / American letter size). Cold-pressed (NOT) surface.
2. A travel set of 10 student watercolour pans: lemon yellow, cadmium yellow, cadmium red, alizarin crimson, Prussian blue, ultramarine blue, sap green, viridian green, yellow ochre, burnt sienna. I use a cheap set by Aquafine that I got from Amazon but any brand will do. Student quality is fine for sketching.
3. A watercolour pen brush. I use a couple of brands during the 7 sketches but I recommend Pentel over all others.
4. A black fine liner pen. I use a Sakura Pigma Micron pen with a 0.5 nib. Again, any brand is fine and a 0.5 nib is just a medium-sized nib.
